Anyway, if we sell we won't get any huge money for him - 50ish million would be my guess. There is maybe also a possibility we would make a deal for a player in Pool' or City, I think he would like to play for one of them - also Newcastle, United or Tottenham could be interesting for him.
Its high time you all stopped dreaming. No one pays a 50m for FDJ when they could possibly wait another year to get him for free....even the prodigal ones like ManU and Chelsea have become wiser.
I dont also see him agreeing to a much lower wage than currently. He might agree to a slightly lower one to align with the clubs financial restructuring drive but not some of the nonsense figures being pouted here. He is not the architect of the clubs financial misfortune, poor leadership,profligacy and timing issues ranked higher in the list of reasons behind Barca's near bankruptcy and current financial woes.
You lot talk about putting a player on the transfer market like it is an automatic decision based only the clubs whims. Raphinha was on the market in summer and there were offers but he refused to even listen to any one and instructed his agent as such . It still a players call, the club can only do little about it and no self respecting coach will agree to put a key player in the stands to support the club in putting pressure on such player to toe the line of a club in a contract stalemate. If Hansi considers him important, he will play regularly without minding the contract situation and if this is the case, you all should get ready to have FDJ in your faces either till his current contract expires ot Hansi leaves. The Dembele debacle should have taught you all a lesson. Xavi kept on playing Dembele despite all the boos. In most instances that a player with an expiring contract is considered important by a coach, the player hold the aces in negotiations. That why you see a lot of key players running down their contracts so they could get a high sign on bonus somewhere else rather than doing the club a favour if they disagreed on evaluation of their worth.
The key thing here is Hansi. If he believes he is important to his project, Barca may be forced to negotiate something close to what he thinks his worth is, otherwise, he will run out the contract on high wages +deferrals and then get a new club+ sign on bonus after the contract is finished. It his gain.
Really, most people here are not miffed because of what he gives on the pitch but more for how much he earns and I continue to wonder a lot if that or his refusal to begin another negotiation 3 years before contract expiration are worth beefing a player for. This is more interesting when most of those throwing tantrums would do exactly same thing and maybe worse if they had a similar situation facing them at work. None of the mofos blabbing here would readily accept a new contract stipulating a reduction in their earnings without weeping to their lawyer's office to file a breach of contract. Footballers are humans too. They want the most they can get for their relatively short career.
If he turns good under Flick, he would stay till
the end of his contract. Barca can decidewhat they want afterwards.
....you should be a favourite for Comed'or
